Kia Stinger Gas Mileage

[Bamm1]

Hell yea, $20K is half the price of the Stinger lol...you can almost be done paying for the car.

I like Biermann says about the Stinger:

"This is no high-performance car," Biermann told us. "You can drive it on the race track, of course, but you cannot drive it on the race track and push it like a high-performance car. The car is not developed for that." Instead, Biermann suggests that the Stinger is meant mainly for places like the German Autobahn, but it's also at home on a back road. "The magic of the Stinger is that it has this high-speed stability from the long wheelbase," said Biermann. "If you go around some tight corners on a tight, mountain road, you don't feel the Stinger being a big car. It's very nimble, very agile, and easy to control."

Those types of descriptions of the driving dynamics align almost exactly with what I am looking for. I don't care if the S5 Sportback beats it around a track. I am no intention of driving it on a track.

I saw this regarding the pricing for A5/S5 Sportback:

Audi’s A5 and sportier S5 have been the brand’s coupe and convertible offerings in the mid-size space, but for the new-generation version arriving for 2018, they’ll be joined for the first time by a four-door fastback, the Sportback. The company has just released pricing for the A5/S5 family, and the Sportback is the least expensive of the bunch, undercutting the two-door coupe by $200.

Now that I look at it again this article rings a bell. We still do not have option packages and their pricing. Will they be the same from coupe to sportback? Likely but not confirmed.

So I can only "guesstimate" what a model equipped like the Stinger GT AWD would cost. But I just go with "a lot more" until I know for sure

i think audi is really messing with us with that 0-60 time of 3.9 for the rs5. i bet it'll be closer to 3.5 seconds. audi has always had really nice interiors and they've done an awesome job with the cockpit of their new cars. the price really puts it out of my league for now but i'll be really happy with the stinger gt.

The 3.9 estimate is about as accurate as it actually making "only" 450 hp.

LOL I forgot to attach the order guide, that is of course, subject to change. I was a bit off in my guesstimate...it is should be closet to $67-68; in mind I wasn't paying anymore than $65k lol.

$67,775 vs. < $49,900.....I could buy a Rio or Soul at the same time as the loaded Stinger and still undercut the Audi.

Bump! Just thought we could update this thread with the latest findings from our new owners...

 

[stinger1168]

Here are the gas milage estimates. They're on KIA's website. The Stinger 2.0T is 22 city/ 29 highway/ 25 combined and the 3.3TT is 19 city/ 25 highway/ 21 combined. These numbers are rear wheel drive only. Subtract one or two from each for all wheel drive. I did a quick look through all the comments and I didn't notice anyone else mentioning these numbers so I apologize if I reposted what someone else posted. I just saw G70 estimates, which should be slightly better.

Also, the 2.0T and 3.3TT recommend premium but you CAN use regular gas.

Hey everyone. Does anyone have any insight at all into what we're looking at in reference to fuel efficiency? I'm more curious about the 3.3TT than the 2.0T. I suppose we can guess it'll get a little better gas mileage than the Genesis G80. But no numbers have been published for the Stinger yet unless I've missed them.

I have the 2.0 and have only been filling with 93 from Shell. I don’t drive too aggressively and I drive a combination of highway and in town “stop & go”. So far I have been getting about 21 to 22 mpg. With only a 15 gallon tank it goes quick.

 

[Kia Stinger]

Thank you for the updates, guys! Mileage should increase a little as break-in continues on...

 

[Waynerm002]

I'm really surprised by the size of the tank based on the type of car but I'm guessing as heavy as it is, they opted for a smaller tank.

I'm getting about the same thing with the 3.3 -- about 11-12L/100km with 93 from Shell.

Not quite.

The 2.0T gets 1 less mpg in the city and 1 less combined when going from RWD to AWD (21/29/24).

The 3.3T gets the exact same fuel economy regardless of what wheels are driven.

The owner's manual states that a minimum of 87 octane should be used. It makes no mention of premium.

The KIA site didn't mention AWD EPA figures so I had to go with what usually happens when (generally speaking) a manufacturer adds AWD due to the extra weight and drive line friction. Thanks for the clarification.

Here is the link to the official Kia site that shows fuel economy for all the trims and drivetrain options:

2018 Kia Stinger Specifications

The Stinger doesn't seem to follow the standard assumptions, fuel economy included .

To the above comments...

Kia Stinger Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.9 gallons
Toyota Camry Fuel Tank Capacity: 14.5 to 16 gallons
Honda Accord Fuel Tank Capacity: 14.8 gallons
Audi A5 Sportback Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.3 gallons
BMW 430i Gran Sport Fuel Tank Capacity: 15.8 gallons

All of those models still have a combined range of well over 400 miles, even with their smaller tanks.

The 2.0T Stinger is just under 400. Not great but still acceptable for most.

I think the fact that the Stinger is flirting with the 5 series class size, the expectation would be that the Stinger would also employ a similarly sized gas tank (18 gal in the case of the 5).

I think the biggest issue with the tank size is when you move to the GT. The V6 versions of the above listed models all have combined ranges that match or exceed the 2.0T Stinger. That is a pretty big detractor.

I’ve got 5700+ km on the car and getting 11.1 L/100 km of mostly city driving with some sport mode and the odd hard acceleration... pretty happy with that... but a larger tank would definitely be more convenient! I’ve only filled up with Shell bronze...

 

[Paul32]

Check my trip mileage coming back from West Palm Beach, Cars and Coffee meet. GT1 RWD, only has 1k miles on it and is 1 month old. Using 89 oct. gas. Drove at 70mph, 220 miles on interstate, 3 hours. The Stinger computer registered 30.5 mpg. Most likely is really around 29 mpg if computed manually. I'm very happy with that number.

21.19 mpg.

350 miles over 400 if all highway.
